Bank account Receiver already exists * code: 400 * description: If you have created a Customer Identifier with a receiver, for example, bank account, you cannot add another bank account receiver or replace it. * solution: Create a new Customer Identifier for new banking details of receiver. close by date should be atleast 15 min after current time * code: 400 * description: The epoch time passed is less than current time. * solution: Send the correct `close_by` time. And the `close_by` time should be more than 15 minutes from the current time.
